Contrary to common opinion... it can be done

I cover two D1 schools regularly and spent this entire MBB season using an XT1 and 56 for my baseline photography for wire services on deadline. It was a little trial by fire and leaving myself no other option because the only Nikon gear I've kept is one D3 and the big lens for the field sports. Once I figured out the quirks and got into a comfort zone, things actually worked very well.

Right light ... right setup ... right lens ... right timing.  Camera is fine for sports.  Not the same as my old Nikon D3s ... but at 1/2 the weight and 1/4 the price ... I'm pretty happy.  :)

Another shot, but this one not staged.  Indoor arena of my son taking a shot on net.  Lighting in this arena sucks, so fast glass and pushing the ISO is needed for still.  Video isn't a problem in the lighting as 1/30 or 1/60 shutter speed is easy ... but not 1/500 !
